I have no reason not to give Michael's 5 stars…read more I don't shop there often. If at all, really. I'm not a huge crafty person and if I'm looking for decorations, art supplies, and/or frames, Walmart typically has what I need, or Target. I used to scrapbook back in high school and I shop Michael's for supplies, but once Hobby Lobby opened I moved to that store. They just seem to have so much more stuff. Went the other day (Today is 12/13/19.) to buy a gift card for my sister-in-law. She shops Michael's all the time. I was in and out within 5 minutes and I even found a pack of really cute mini boxes to 'wrap' the gift card in. Pack had 2 boxes so I 'wrapped' a gift card for my husband to a restaurant he likes instead of just throwing the card in his stocking. Store was clean, uncluttered, and aisles were labeled. The cashier I had was really nice as well. I keep meaning to fill out the survey for her. I'll happily go back if I need to. Did not use restrooms. I assume there are ones open to the public. Parking lot is very close, but handicap stalls aren't. Which seems odd to me.

Located in an honored front display case location, Edward Linhardt's fine hand crafted knives beckon. Gayle wasn't about to let me spend a few hundred dollars on one of these beauties, but I did catch wind that Bladesmith did make a really cool letter opener that was carved from an old railroad tie. Edward has run his own blacksmith shop in Spirit Lake since the 1980s and in 2000 took up the art of metal engraving. After I returned home, I had a nice chat with Edward and ordered by letter opener and sent him a check for $51 (including shipping). And within about a week or so, this stunning piece arrived. It holds tight like a pistol, with nice heft and a precise slice. The picture of this work of art speaks volumes to me and maybe my Bladesmith budget for next summer.

They have quilts on display from many of the patterns they offer. There is a nice classroom and a little sitting/reading area to study patterns. The outside of the shop is like a tiny park with old sewing machines set out as focal pieces.
